Out of all of the cruel contraptions humans have thought up to make profit out of animals, the cage is arguably one of the cruellest.
Sadly, cages dominate the egg industry worldwide, and in the UK, cage farming accounts for nearly 50 per cent of the market. It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to be forced to live in a cage for your entire adult life. I have visited cage egg farms, but only for minutes at a time. Those few minutes, full of horrendous sights, smells and sounds, were enough to make me never want to set foot in such a place again.
